Friends of St. Aidans BE 1150 Walking Dragline

April Open Day

Our first Open Day of 2017 took place on Saturday 22nd April. Members were busy during the morning getting the site ready to receive our visitors. There are many jobs to be done, from strimming around the site to putting out chairs. The weather was fine and sunny and we had around one hundred and twenty visitors who enjoyed an interesting day out. Whilst some were touring the Dragline and listening to her history and learning how the varous parts worked, others were in the substation watching films of Draglines at work and also seeing this demonstrated by working models. Many people bought Dragline DVDs and souvenir mugs with Oddball on them were also very popular. If you would like to help out on the sales table, or with any other jobs, please send us an email or have a word with one of the Stewards at an Open Day.
